1. Various "Now 23"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 336,666
Cume<\/p>\n

Now who is this band "Various"?\u00c2\u00a0 Back in the day, our bands had a "the" in front of their name, so you weren’t caught off guard, so you knew it was a musical group you were bumping into.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean "Various" could be the extra parts that come in a model-building kit.\u00c2\u00a0 Or some of the extraneous parts in chitlins.\u00c2\u00a0 How do I know it’s a band?\u00c2\u00a0 And where have I been that this unknown act hits number 1?<\/p>\n

Oh, he’s not 23?\u00c2\u00a0 This is his 23rd album?<\/p>\n

Well, radio’s not doing a good job!<\/p>\n

But these tracks were all over radio?<\/p>\n

Do I need to get my hearing aid checked?<\/p>\n

Oh, it’s sixteen VARIOUS acts?\u00c2\u00a0 The feuding Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson only a cut away?<\/p>\n

I remember when there was only ONE act, with SIXTEEN songs.\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, sometimes there was one act and only ONE song.\u00c2\u00a0 Remember that Jethro Tull?\u00c2\u00a0 What was it, "Thick As A Stone"…\u00c2\u00a0 Or maybe "Slippery As A Stone"…\u00c2\u00a0 Or "I Just Got Stoned"…\u00c2\u00a0 I went to see them at the Spectrum and Johnnie Sugarman put his hand on my chest and I started to feel…<\/p>\n

Nevermind.<\/p>\n

3. Keith Urban "Love Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week:
Debut 267,227<\/p>\n

You go to rehab BEFORE the album comes out?<\/p>\n

I thought acts could still get on country radio, even CMT.\u00c2\u00a0 Are things so bad that "Us" and "InTouch" and egotastic.com are TV for shitkickers?<\/p>\n

Oh, Keith Urban doesn’t kick any shit?<\/p>\n

I thought that’s what country artists did.\u00c2\u00a0 They wore hats and cowboy boots and worked on their farms in Nashville…<\/p>\n

He’s from AUSTRALIA?<\/p>\n

Australia ain’t country.<\/p>\n

And he’s married to a movie star?\u00c2\u00a0 And he plays the electric guitar?<\/p>\n

Back in my day they called this rock and roll.<\/p>\n

But rock and roll is illegal?\u00c2\u00a0 You can’t play that on Top Forty radio?<\/p>\n

I still don’t get it.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t you go into rehab AFTER the album comes out?\u00c2\u00a0 After you’ve been on the road.\u00c2\u00a0 And get out just before the awards show?<\/p>\n

Well the awards show was BEFORE his drop date.<\/p>\n

Can a country artist drop a record?\u00c2\u00a0 Doesn’t it just fall off his horse?\u00c2\u00a0 Out of his saddlebag or something?<\/p>\n

You don’t get it.\u00c2\u00a0 You’re thinking of the OLD country.<\/p>\n

No, Europe has nothing to do with this!<\/p>\n

No, the old COUNTRY MUSIC!<\/p>\n

Country is country.\u00c2\u00a0 How can country change?<\/p>\n

Everything’s topsy-turvy.\u00c2\u00a0 Kind of reminds me of that old joke.\u00c2\u00a0 What happens when you play country music backwards?\u00c2\u00a0 You get your wife back, your pickup back and your dog comes home.\u00c2\u00a0 If Keith Urban goes to rehab BEFORE his album comes out, does that mean the record continues to sell fewer copies every week until it just fades away?\u00c2\u00a0 That it doesn’t build, doesn’t go to the top of the chart?<\/p>\n

That’s how IT IS in music today, not just country.<\/p>\n

Nevermind.\u00c2\u00a0 Then again, I wasn’t paying attention to country anyway.<\/p>\n

5. Hannah Montana "Soundtrack"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 131,063
Cume: 616,365<\/p>\n

A girl from Montana has her own soundtrack album?<\/p>\n

What’s on it?\u00c2\u00a0 The howling wind of the prairie?<\/p>\n

She’s not from Montana?<\/p>\n

Then who’s her daddy?<\/p>\n

He’s country, but not from Montana?\u00c2\u00a0 Boy, you guys sure do make this confusing.<\/p>\n

So this must be a white rapper, right?\u00c2\u00a0 Didn’t you tell me this is the only kind of music you can get on the Top Forty, ship-shape music?<\/p>\n

It’s from a TV show.<\/p>\n

Oh, an R&B TV show!<\/p>\n

No, they call it "urban music" now.<\/p>\n

Like condos and Lexuses?<\/p>\n

No, like Compton.<\/p>\n

But Compton is low-lying buildings, it’s not urban.<\/p>\n

But that’s where they make the urban music.<\/p>\n

I thought that’s where they made the ship-shape music.<\/p>\n

Urban IS ship-shape, er, hip-hop.<\/p>\n

So, Ms. Montana is a rapper from Compton.\u00c2\u00a0 Good to see rap still dominates the chart.<\/p>\n

No, Hannah is white.<\/p>\n

Yes, but that candy boy, Mr. M&M, isn’t he the biggest rapper?\u00c2\u00a0 Isn’t he even bigger than that guy who’s half a dollar?\u00c2\u00a0 What a dumb name, there isn’t even a fifty cent COIN!<\/p>\n

No, she doesn’t rap.<\/p>\n

Then what does she do?<\/p>\n

She acts.<\/p>\n

Actors don’t have careers selling album.\u00c2\u00a0 Actors make novelty records.\u00c2\u00a0 They have a hit today, and they’re gone tomorrow.<\/p>\n

EXACTLY!\u00c2\u00a0 Nobody has a career today.<\/p>\n

But if there are no careers, how do the companies make money?\u00c2\u00a0 Isn’t it the superstars releasing multiplatinum albums who keep the business alive?<\/p>\n

Oh, almost no one sells multiplatinum?\u00c2\u00a0 Then business must be terrible.<\/p>\n

It is.<\/p>\n

So you’ve got a white girl rapper with a TV show and she’s supposed to save the business?<\/p>\n

You just don’t understand.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s about exposure, not music.<\/p>\n

I guess I don’t.<\/p>\n

13. Barry Manilow "Greatest Songs Of The Sixties"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 63,823
Cume: 266,045<\/p>\n

This guy I know.\u00c2\u00a0 He sucks.\u00c2\u00a0 By time he hit nobody listened to Top Forty radio.\u00c2\u00a0 We were listening to rockers on FM.\u00c2\u00a0 We’d go to the stadium show.\u00c2\u00a0 I’d drink margaritas and I’d be in the outfield and it would be so hot I’d want to take my top off like they did in the "Woodstock" movie but I was afraid the pigs would arrest me.<\/p>\n

Pigs?<\/p>\n

You know, the police.<\/p>\n

The police are now revered.\u00c2\u00a0 Second in stature only to those in the fire department.<\/p>\n

Huh?<\/p>\n

Yes, the country likes to support men in uniform.<\/p>\n

But I thought the game was to stay OUT of uniform.<\/p>\n

Then again, back before everything fell, I remember that song, from that English band, "I love a man in uniform…"\u00c2\u00a0 Barry Manilow is wearing a UNIFORM?<\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

Whew.\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t think they took his type in the army.<\/p>\n

So, he’s singing the greatest MOR songs of the sixties.\u00c2\u00a0 None of my music.<\/p>\n

No, he sings a little Frank, but also the Association, and the Righteous Brothers…<\/p>\n

Who’d buy this shit?<\/p>\n

The hipsters from the old days.\u00c2\u00a0 You see the baby boomers who bought Clapton and Hendrix all got married, and they’ve got to put up appearances, and they’re so busy talking on their cell phones in their SUVs that they don’t listen to the radio and they don’t know what to buy, so Clive Davis sells them crap like this so they’ll have something to play at dinner parties.\u00c2\u00a0 Like Rod Stewart.<\/p>\n

Oh, I love him.\u00c2\u00a0 I used to have a poster on the wall.\u00c2\u00a0 And when he started singing how Maggie wore it well I had a reason to believe that he was lying in bed next to me, touching me and…<\/p>\n

Well, Rod Stewart’s a crooner now.<\/p>\n

A what?\u00c2\u00a0 A fisherman?<\/p>\n

No, Rod Stewart sings standards.<\/p>\n

Like "Stairway To Heaven"?<\/p>\n

No, the music your parents used to listen to.<\/p>\n

But my father is dead.\u00c2\u00a0 And my mother…she’s afraid of record stores.<\/p>\n

What, there are no more record stores?\u00c2\u00a0 They’re going out of business?<\/p>\n

So who would buy a record of Rod Stewart singing crap?
Good question.<\/p>\n

23. Cale\/Clapton "Road To Escondido"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 43,050
Debut<\/p>\n

Now you’re talking.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank god they save the big boys for the fourth quarter.\u00c2\u00a0 Clapton’s gonna save Warner’s year.\u00c2\u00a0 That was always Mo’s plan, to release the heavy hitters when the people were in the stores.\u00c2\u00a0 Brilliant marketing.<\/p>\n

CDs are still too expensive, but thank god concert tickets are cheap.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m gonna see if I can get a ticket to this show, Clapton’s a superstar, I’d pay ten bucks to see him, maybe $12.50.\u00c2\u00a0 Since this record is gonna burn up the chart, I’d better buy my tickets soon, before everybody finds out, before it hits NUMBER ONE!<\/p>\n

33. John Mayer "Continuum"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 32,853
Cume: 803,039<\/p>\n

Now I know this guy.\u00c2\u00a0 But I’m confused.\u00c2\u00a0 Does he have a twin?\u00c2\u00a0 At least somebody with the same name?\u00c2\u00a0 Sometimes I hear a guy called this who’s just wailing on his guitar.\u00c2\u00a0 Other times there’s this wimpy music coming out of the speakers.\u00c2\u00a0 Singing about somebody’s kids or something.\u00c2\u00a0 Really, don’t they arrest people for this?\u00c2\u00a0 Singing about little girls and naming your record after their body parts?<\/p>\n

What?<\/p>\n

You know, down there, that’s what they call it.<\/p>\n

Call what?<\/p>\n

Now you’ve been laid honey, right?\u00c2\u00a0 DOWN THERE!\u00c2\u00a0 Where the fish swim?\u00c2\u00a0 Where the one-eyed trouser snake comes to play?<\/p>\n

What are you talking ABOUT?<\/p>\n

This Johnny Mayer.\u00c2\u00a0 Poking that poor Simpson girl.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s a predator.\u00c2\u00a0 He named his album CUNT-INUUM, didn’t he?\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t think the guitar-playing John Mayer would do such a thing.\u00c2\u00a0 But the wimpy John Mayer, he’s dating that no-talent with the sister who’s had all the plastic surgery…<\/p>\n

Oh, they’ve BOTH had plastic surgery?\u00c2\u00a0 Then what’s real?\u00c2\u00a0 Next you’re gonna tell me that it’s not really them singing on the record.\u00c2\u00a0 That they’ve got some newfangled machine that makes it so ANYBODY can sing.\u00c2\u00a0 That anybody beautiful can be a star.\u00c2\u00a0 That Roy Thomas Baker can make a hit record with ANYBODY!<\/p>\n

35. Meat Loaf "Bat Out Of Hell III"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 30,212
Cume: 111,144<\/p>\n

Oh, I can’t wait to hear Phil Rizzuto again.<\/p>\n

Did I lose my virginity in the back of that Dodge Dart?<\/p>\n

We used to smoke those funny cigarettes.\u00c2\u00a0 And ride to the outskirts.<\/p>\n

No, not Atlantic City.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s where that guy who couldn’t stop singing about the city lived.\u00c2\u00a0 You know, the one writing about that magic rodent, under the Esso sign.<\/p>\n

Atlantic City?<\/p>\n

Yeah, somewhere in Jersey.\u00c2\u00a0 I hate Jersey.<\/p>\n

You’re sure you don’t mean Asbury Park?\u00c2\u00a0 Bruce Springsteen?\u00c2\u00a0 The Boss?<\/p>\n

I never could understand why he was the boss.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t you become a musician so you DON’T have a boss?\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, that guy, always writing about New York City from the perspective of a suburbanite.\u00c2\u00a0 Why didn’t he just move to Manhattan and sing about something else.\u00c2\u00a0 Although he did write catchy songs.\u00c2\u00a0 Has he written anything good recently?\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve kind of lost touch.<\/p>\n

Oh, he sings OTHER PEOPLE’S MATERIAL now?\u00c2\u00a0 God, that guy had so many words in every song, I guess he just plain ran out.\u00c2\u00a0 But the people I know who are big talkers, they talk until they die.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean we’re sitting at the bar, three sheets to the wind, and they’re just about to fall over and they’re still talking.<\/p>\n

God, I thought Phil Rizzuto was dead.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s dead, right?<\/p>\n

I don’t know.<\/p>\n

God, never did see him play.\u00c2\u00a0 But we’d sit in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium and drink Rheingold…<\/p>\n

What does this have to do with Meat Loaf?<\/p>\n

They didn’t serve meat loaf at Yankee Stadium.\u00c2\u00a0 You could only buy hot dogs.<\/p>\n

No, Meat Loaf the artist!<\/p>\n

Oh, right.\u00c2\u00a0 Yeah, I listened to that album.\u00c2\u00a0 Have fond memories when I hear "Paradise" on the radio now and again.\u00c2\u00a0 But I’m talking about the Yankees here.\u00c2\u00a0 What’s up with Steinbrenner.<\/p>\n

Don’t you care about Meat Loaf?<\/p>\n

No, who’d care about Meat Loaf?\u00c2\u00a0 When was the last time HE went to the World Series.\u00c2\u00a0 Wasn’t that the SEVENTIES?<\/p>\n

70. Beck "Information"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 15,415
Cume: 224,713<\/p>\n

Now this is music.\u00c2\u00a0 This guy can make his guitar SING!\u00c2\u00a0 If only he and Rod the Mod had stayed together, if only Rod hadn’t become so wimpy, dating those actresses.<\/p>\n

Amazing that three great players could come from the same band.\u00c2\u00a0 Too bad Keith Relf is dead, otherwise he could give us some perspective here.<\/p>\n

But so great that each one of these cats is still making music.\u00c2\u00a0 Pagey hasn’t released anything recently, but I know he’s coming back with something soon.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe he’s been in Kashmir, ha-ha.<\/p>\n

But I’m sorry that Jeff can’t sell more records.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s why he and Rod should have stayed together.\u00c2\u00a0 They wouldn’t have this piss poor sales number.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re stars, they deserve better than this.\u00c2\u00a0 I know you told me people don’t sell like they used to, but\u00c2\u00a0 superstars not even going gold…<\/p>\n

It’s not Jeff Beck?\u00c2\u00a0 Then who IS THIS??<\/p>\n

Jeff Beck had his identity stolen?\u00c2\u00a0 I saw on "Dateline", or maybe it was "90 Minutes", there’s this problem with identity theft.\u00c2\u00a0 No wonder more records aren’t being sold.\u00c2\u00a0 Kind of like when that manager put that bogus Fleetwood Mac on the road.\u00c2\u00a0 No, I didn’t fall for that, I knew that drummer was a giant.\u00c2\u00a0 I always wondered, if he’s that tall…<\/p>\n

Nobody stole Jeff Beck’s identity?\u00c2\u00a0 This is a tiny white boy who shucks and jives on stage like a black man?<\/p>\n

Well, who would be interested in that.\u00c2\u00a0 No wonder he’s not a superstar.\u00c2\u00a0 Stealing somebody else’s name, and someone else’s act too.\u00c2\u00a0 Can’t he INNOVATE?<\/p>\n

Oh, this guy is CONSIDERED an innovator?\u00c2\u00a0 Like Frank Zappa?<\/p>\n

I loved Frank.\u00c2\u00a0 Some of my girlfriends didn’t get it, they don’t have the brain I do, they don’t have the sense of humor.<\/p>\n

Well, if this guy gets into the underbelly, reflects America back upon itself, I can see why he’s struggling sales-wise, people are dumb, they’re not ready for that.\u00c2\u00a0 But thank god this little guitar player is keeping Zappa’s tradition alive, changing time signatures, even throwing in a bit of jazz.\u00c2\u00a0 Hey, Beefheart is still alive, right?\u00c2\u00a0 Has this little guy gotten the Captain to sing on his record?\u00c2\u00a0 THAT I’d be interested in.<\/p>\n

76. Bob Dylan "Modern Times"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 14,349
Cume: 657,577<\/p>\n

I didn’t really care for him.\u00c2\u00a0 But I guess with the political situation being what it is, that’s why he’s selling so well.\u00c2\u00a0 You know he never moved the units, but with the country in turmoil, they’ve got to hear what Mr. Tambourine Man has to say.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean his lyrics were always good.\u00c2\u00a0 But his VOICE!\u00c2\u00a0 But he probably sounds better these days.\u00c2\u00a0 People learn, get better with practice.\u00c2\u00a0 Imagine if his voice got worse, then NOBODY would care!<\/p>\n

85. James Blunt "Back To Bedlam"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 13,377
Cume: 2,281,350<\/p>\n

Drug references always sell.\u00c2\u00a0 People want to get high.\u00c2\u00a0 Blunts were after my time, I’ve switched to the hard stuff.<\/p>\n

HEROIN?<\/p>\n

No, no, I’m not a needle girl.\u00c2\u00a0 You know, like…\u00c2\u00a0 Well, when it’s my birthday, some of the guys at the garage…did I tell you I work next door to a garage?\u00c2\u00a0 They fix my Nissan and if it’s Friday afternoon…\u00c2\u00a0 Well, let’s just say that for my birthday last year they bought me some Chivas.\u00c2\u00a0 Regal that is.\u00c2\u00a0 I always wondered if they had ulterior motives though.\u00c2\u00a0 I do remember being in the office with my dress above my head.<\/p>\n

Yes, a girl’s got to do what a girl’s go to do.\u00c2\u00a0 You’ve got to get it, right?\u00c2\u00a0 It’s human nature.\u00c2\u00a0 You know I can’t have kids.\u00c2\u00a0 Yeah, before abortion was legal…\u00c2\u00a0 Yeah, I told you that story, but I’m past that now.\u00c2\u00a0 But the good thing is I can’t get pregnant…<\/p>\n

You’re too old to have a baby!<\/p>\n

No, look at all those actress chicks, on TV, they’re having babies in their fifties.\u00c2\u00a0 We took good care of ourselves, we can do things our parents couldn’t.<\/p>\n

Like not age?<\/p>\n

Who are you calling old.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t inject that poison in my skin, but I can party…\u00c2\u00a0 Sounds like you’re too uptight to party, like your little thing has FALLEN OFF!<\/p>\n

But you put something like this in the tape deck.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, it might seem odd, but I LOVED the Clash, all the energy.\u00c2\u00a0 And you’d get all fired up with the music in you…<\/p>\n

Yes, I know this is not the Clash, but this guy is English, right?\u00c2\u00a0 And that title’s a dead giveaway.\u00c2\u00a0 A reference to the last great era of English music.\u00c2\u00a0 Back to bedlam, like all those punk bands in the U.K., from the Sex Pistols on.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe I should check this out.\u00c2\u00a0 I may be a chick, but I don’t like typical chick music.\u00c2\u00a0 My idea of heaven is when Duane bends a string…<\/p>\n

93. Guns N’ Roses "Greatest Hits"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales this week: 12,642
Cume: 3,262956<\/p>\n

Now this must include some of their later period work, right?\u00c2\u00a0 The stuff after "Appetite" and "Use Your Illusion".\u00c2\u00a0 I loved "Appetite", maybe the last great album before that boy who killed himself ruined music.\u00c2\u00a0 Granted, G N’ R was new, kind of edgy, but you could tell where the music CAME FROM, what inspired it.\u00c2\u00a0 And that Axel.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, I have my memories of Mr. Carnation from MTV.\u00c2\u00a0 Yup, I used to watch, we all did, until they started having game shows and reality programs.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe I should tune back in.\u00c2\u00a0 Since "The Real World" is probably long gone, they don’t keep shows around that long on MTV, it’s all what’s happening RIGHT NOW!\u00c2\u00a0 Based on what you’re telling me here, I need to get in touch with what’s happening right now, so maybe I should fire the station back up, watch for a couple of hours, see fifteen or twenty videos.<\/p>\n

But like I was saying, Mr. Tulip, I heard he was crazy, but he was so SEXY!\u00c2\u00a0 Probably doesn’t look too good today. You know age takes a toll.\u00c2\u00a0 You get lines on your face, your hair falls out.\u00c2\u00a0 At least I’ve got my hair, what do you think?<\/p>\n

But I lost touch with the band.\u00c2\u00a0 They must have put out some pretty good music since.\u00c2\u00a0 Otherwise why would so many people want this record?\u00c2\u00a0 Fifteen year old stuff, TWENTY YEAR OLD STUFF, you’d figure they’d be overrun by newbies.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank god, they’ve still got it, that they’re still making records that COUNT, unlike Mick and Keef.\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t heard a new record from the Stones in eons.\u00c2\u00a0 Guess they realized they no longer had it.\u00c2\u00a0 Good to see they’ve passed the torch to someone who’s still got it, who can still get the kids riled up.<\/p>\n

Yes, I knew if we stayed at this long enough it would all make sense.<\/p>\n

It’s about career bands continuing to make great records.\u00c2\u00a0 Then multiplatinum is EASY!<\/p>\n

Enough already.\u00c2\u00a0 Let’s fool around.<\/p>\n
